Foreword 

THOSE  who  have  made  up  their  minds  to 
go  on  to  the  Ascension,  taking  all  the 
steps  essential  to  that  attainment,  should  read 
each  chapter  and  verse  carefully  and  prayer- 
fully. For  there  is  a  teaching  for  each  Candi- 
date which  is  beneath  the  words  and  unwritten 
and,  to  catch  that  instruction,  there  must  be  a 
conscious  openness  to  the  TEACHER  WiTHlN. 

The  writing  of  this  Handbook  on  ALL  THE 
Way  has  not  been  by  subject  or  by  any  fixed 
order  that  human  intellect  might  dictate,  but 
on  the  contrary.  For  each  chapter  was  writ- 
ten as  the  substance  came  to  me  with  apparent 
repetitions,  and  some  disconnected  and  irrele- 
vant presentations,  because  of  leaving  the  con- 
struction wholly  to  the  Spirit  that  guides  the 
Candidate  into  all  the  truth  that  belongs  to 
achieving  the  Christ  goal. 

The  paragraphs  are  numbered  as  well  as 
the  chapters  for  convenience  in  referring  to 
specific  instruction. 

God  grant  that  many  will  be  led  to  com- 
mune with  themselves  and,  by  the  power  of 
their  own  great  Self,  determine  to  reach  the 
Heights.  Any  communication  from  you,  dear 
Reader,  as  to  your  experiences  and  aspirations 
as  well  as  obstacles  in  the  Path  upon  which 


your  feet  shall  henceforth  walk,  will  be  wel- 
come and  held  in  sacred  confidence. 

Let  us  ever  remember  that  none  could  make 
this  attainment  in  his  own  strength.  It  is  God 
that  walks  the  Way  in  us  and  is  our  Almighty 
Power  to  attain  the  Heights.  To  him  only 
belongs  the  glory.

All  the  Way 
I 

And  there  went  great  multitudes  with  him:  and  he 
turned,  and  said  unto  them. 

If  any  man  come  to  me  and  hate  not  his  father,  and 
mother,  and  wife,  and  children,  and  brethren,  and  sisters, 
yea,  and  his  own  life  also,  he  cannot  be  my  disciple. 

And  whosoever  doth  not  bear  his  cross,  and  come  after 
me,  cannot  be  my  disciple. 

For  which  of  you,  intending  to  build  a  tower,  sitteth 
not  down  first,  and  counteth  the  cost,  whether  he  have 
sufficient  to  finish  it? 

Lest  haply,  after  he  hath  laid  the  foundation,  and  is 
not  able  to  finish  it,  all  that  behold  it  begin  to  mock  him. 

Saying,  This  man  began  to  build,  and  was  not  able  to 
finish. 

Or  what  king,  going  to  make  war  against  another 
king,  sitteth  not  down  first,  and  consulteth  whether  he  be 
able  with  ten  thousand  to  meet  him  that  cometh  against 
him  with  twenty  thousand? 

Or  else,  while  the  other  is  yet  a  great  way  off,  he 
sendeth  an  embassage,  and  desireth  conditions  of  peace. 

So  likewise,  whosoever  he  be  of  you  that  forsaketh  not 
all  that  he  hath,  he  cannot  be  my  disciple. — Luke  14:25-33. 

(^[^VERYONE  who  is  contemplating 
j[T  g^i^g  forward  in  the  Christ  Life  to 
/^^  its  glorious  ultimate  must  begin  to 
^       consider  all  that  it  means. 

It  means  all  for  All. 

2  Therefore  Jesus  presents  it  very  strongly, 
that  unless  you  can,  in  seeking  to  do  the  will 


14  All  the  Way 

(Mark  3:33-35).  *^And  call  no  man  your 
father  upon  the  earth:  for  one  is  your  Father, 
which  is  in  heaven,"  (Matt.  23:9). 

10  ^^If  any  man  come  to  me  and  hate  not 
his  .  .  ."  (Luke  14:26);  the  word  "hate'' 
is  not  a  good  translation  of  the  Greek  word 
which  means  "to  love  less."  For  these  relatives 
are  our  "neighbors"  whom  we  are  enjoined  to 
love  as  ourselves,  the  Second  Commandment, 
which  "is  like  unto  the  First." 

The  significance  is  this,  that  when  it  comes 
to  a  choice,  and  we  take  our  love  for,  or  duty 
to,  our  relatives  instead  of  the  Way  which  is 
plainly  to  follow  some  direction  of  the  Christ, 
then  we  cannot  follow  him  all  the  Way. 

11  Duty,  even  what  seems  a  most  sacred 
duty,  must  not  interfere.  Nothing  was  more 
binding  in  the  heart  of  a  filial  Hebrew  than 
to  observe  the  last  sacred  rites  in  the  burial  of 
a  parent.  Yet  the  Master  commanded  one  of 
his  followers  to 

"Let  the  dead  bury  their  dead,  but  go  thou 
and  preach  the  kingdom  of  God,"  (Luke  9:59, 
60). 

12  Not  even  sentiment  shall  enter  in,  not 
old  observances  of  the  ceremonies  and  habits 
that  connect  one  with  the  former  relationships 
shall  interfere  with  the  direct  call  to  go  for- 
ward in  this  upward  Way. 

13  Another  follower  of  Jesus  wished  to 
turn  back,  to  ceremoniously  bid  his  people 


All  the  Way  15 

farewell,  thus  making  himself  liable  to  their 
influence  and  placing  a  stumblingblock  in  his 
way.    To  him  Jesus  replies : 

^^No  man,  having  put  his  hand  to  the 
plough,  and  looking  back,  is  fit  for  the  king- 
dom of  God,"  (Luke  9:62). 

14  ^^Go  thou  and  preach  the  kingdom  of 
God,"  is  the  word  to  all  who  are  learning  there 
is  but  one  business  in  life,  our  heavenly  Fath- 
er's business.  ^^Wist  ye  not  that  I  must  be 
about  my  Father's  business?"  (Luke  2:49). 

1 5  ^^Labour  not  for  the  meat  that  perisheth, 
but  for  that  meat  which  endureth  unto  ever- 
lasting life"  (John  6:27),  and  he  called  his 
disciples  from  their  fish  nets  and  they  dropped 
them  where  they  were  and  followed  him.  He 
said  to  Matthew,  the  publican,  as  he  sat  at 
the  money-changer's  table,  ^'Follow  me,"  and 
he  rose  then  and  there  and  left  his  table  as  it 
was,  and  followed  him. 

16  No  earthly  business  must  stand  in  the 
way  when  the  Master  calls,  even  though  that 
business  be  one's  very  life.  No  cares  of  the 
household  should  keep  one  from  sitting  at  the 
Master's  feet  and  serving  him  in  the  way  he 
would  be  served,  in  ministering  Truth  to  a 
hungry  world. 

17  We  remember  Jesus'  rebuke  of  the  fret- 
ful and  complaining  Martha,  burdened  with 
much  serving,  when  she  would  take  Mary 
away  from  listening  to  the  message  of  Truth : 


16  All  the  Way 

^^Martha,  Martha,  thou  art  careful  and 
troubled  about  many  things :  but  one  thing  is 
needful:  and  Mary  hath  chosen  that  good 
part,  which  shall  not  be  taken  away  from  her," 
(Luke  10:38-42). 

18  There  is  but  one  work  for  those  who 
are  walking  the  earthly  road  for  the  last  time, 
and  the  sooner  and  the  fuller  such  enter  into 
this  work  of  teaching  the  nations  the  Christ 
life,  the  more  quickly  they  will  advance  in  the 
heavenly  Way  and  finish  all  earth's  sorrows 
and  hardships. 

19  Meditation  upon  Jesus'  words  as  our 
very  own  establishes  the  state  of  mind  that 
will  outpicture  in  the  most  direct  and  easiest 
way,  the  means  and  method  of  external  accom- 
plishment: 

**To  this  end  was  I  born,  and  for  this  cause 
came  I  into  the  world,  that  I  should  bear 
witness  unto  the  truth.  Every  one  that  is  of 
the  truth  heareth  my  voice,"   (John  18:37). 

^*I  must  work  the  works  of  him  that  sent 
me,  while  it  is  day:  the  night  cometh  when  no 
man  can  work,"  (John  9:4). 

"Say  not  ye.  There  are  yet  four  months,  and 
then  cometh  harvest.  Behold,  I  say  unto  you, 
Lift  up  your  eyes  and  look  on  the  fields;  for 
they  are  white  already  to  harvest." 

*The  harvest  truly  is  great,  but  the  labourers 
are  few:  pray  ye  therefore  the  Lord  of  the 


All  the  Way  17 

harvest,  that  he  would  send  forth  labourers 
into  his  harvest,"  (John  4:35  and  Luke  10:2). 

^^My  Father  w^orketh  hitherto  and  I  work," 
(John  5:17). 

^^Take  no  thought  how  or  what  ye  shall 
speak:  for  it  shall  be  given  you  in  that  same 
hour  what  ye  shall  speak.  For  it  is  not  ye 
that  speak,  but  the  Spirit  of  your  Father  which 
speaketh  in  you,"  (Matt.  10:19,  20). 

**The  words  that  I  speak  unto  you,  I  speak 
not  of  myself:  but  the  Father  that  dwelleth 
in  me,  he  doeth  the  works,"  (John  14:10). 

^^My  meat  is  to  do  the  will  of  him  that  sent 
me  and  to  finish  his  work,"  (John  4:34). 

"It  is  finished,"  (John  19:30). 

20  And  the  work  which  Christ  has  given 
you  to  do?  Six  directions  were  given  to  the 
original  twelve  with  the  injunction  that  they 
were  to  teach  others  to  do  all  that  he  had  told 
them  to  do:  "Go  ye  therefore  and  teach  all 
nations  .  .  .  teaching  them  to  observe  all 
things  whatsoever  I  have  commanded  you," 
(Matt.  28:19,  20). 

The  six  directions  are  (Matt.  10:7,  8)  : 

1  Go,  preach,  saying.  The  kingdom  of 

of  heaven  is  at  hand. 

2  Heal  the  sick. 

3  Cleanse  the  lepers. 

4  Raise  the  dead. 

5  Cast  out  devils. 

6  Freely  ye  have  received,  freely  give. 


18  All  the  Way 

21  The  direction  ^Treely  give"  is  espe- 
cially stressed  by  the  Master.  For  each  one 
that  enters  the  Way  must  learn  early  that  God 
alone  is  our  support  and  the  means  of  our 
supply,  and  that  all  that  we  do  should  be  with- 
out a  thought  of  compensation  from  those 
benefited. 

22  This  going  forth  into  the  highways  and 
byways  of  the  world  without  thought  of 
whereby  we  shall  be  fed,  clothed  or  housed  is 
a  splendid  adventure  more  fraught  with  sur- 
prises and  marvellous  achievements  than  those 
of  the  knights  of  old,  whether  Crusaders  or 
mere  adventurers. 

23  We  need  no  backing  but  the  Holy 
Spirit,  none  to  call  us  and  ordain  us  but  the 
Voice  of  Jesus  Christ  within  us.  And  God 
will  make  our  word  and  our  work,  good. 

24  In  all  ways  we  loosen  our  minds  from 
dependence  upon  worldly  methods  for  our 
support  and  from  looking  to  personalities  to 
supply  us  or  uphold  us.  We  free  ourselves 
from  looking  to  our  own  work,  whether  spir- 
itual or  material,  as  our  means  of  supply. 

25  All  attachment  to  money  ceases  with 
those  who  walk  the  Way;  every  one  holding 
himself  ready,  no  matter  how  great. or  how 
small  or  how  precious  his  possessions  may  be, 
to  "sell  that  ye  have  and  give  alms."  Such 
a  state  of  mind  provides  a  perpetual  wealth, 
"bags  that  wax  not  old,  a  treasure  in  the 
heavens  that  faileth  not,"  (Luke  12:33). 


All  the  Way  19 

26  We  cannot  be  divided  in  our  thoughts, 
feelings  and  works  between  worldly  things 
and  methods  and  those  of  the  Spirit,  one  or 
the  other  will  suffer  neglect  and  we  shall  make 
a  success  of  neither.  *^No  man  can  serve  two 
masters:  for  either  he  will  hate  the  one  and 
love  the  other;  or  else  he  will  hold  to  the  one 
and  despise  the  other.  Ye  cannot  serve  God 
and  mammon.  Therefore  I  say  unto  you. 
Take  no  thought  for  your  life,  what  ye  shall 
eat  or  what  ye  shall  drink;  nor  yet  for  your 
body  what  ye  shall  put  on,"  (Matt.  6 :24,  25) . 

27  Of  the  two  masters  God  is  the  one  and 
money  is  the  other.  To  try  to  serve  both 
results  in  being  indifferent  to  God  (^^hating 
the  One")  and  worshipping  money  or  giving 
it  power  and  respect  (^4oving  the  other")  or 
on  the  other  hand,  to  try  to  serve  both  God 
and  money,  will  be  to  attempt  to  live  the  spir- 
itual life  (^^hold  to  the  One")  and  to  have 
such  a  contempt  for  money  (^^despise  the 
other")  as  to  be  impractical  in  demonstrating 
prosperity. 

28  The  only  way  is  to  give  all  power,  all 
thought,  all  respect  and  all  place  to  God  and 
let  money  follow  that  true  consciousness  as  its 
natural  shadow.  So  shall  you  be  ^^seeking 
first  the  kingdom  of  God  and  his  righteous- 
ness" and  seeing  ^^all  these  things"  after  which 
the  worldly  people  seek  ^^added  unto  you," 
(Matt.  6:33). 


II 

Behold  I  shew  you  a  mystery ;  We  shall  not  all  sleep, 
but  we  shall  all  be  changed. 

In  a  moment,  in  the  twinkling  of  an  eye,  at  the  last 
trump:  for  the  trumpet  shall  sound,  and  the  dead  shall  be 
raised  incorruptible,  and  we  shall  be  changed. 

For  this  corruptible  must  put  on  incorruption,  and  this 
mortal  must  put  on  immortality. 

So  when  this  corruptible  shall  have  put  on  incorruption, 
and  this  mortal  shall  have  put  on  immortality,  then  shall 
be  brought  to  pass  the  saying  that  is  written.  Death  is 
swallowed  up  in  victory. 

0  death,  where  is  thy  sting?  O  grave,  where  is  thy 
victory? 

The  sting  of  death  is  sin;  and  the  strength  of  sin  is 
the  law. 

But  thanks  be  to  God,  which  giveth  us  the  victory 
through  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

Therefore,  my  beloved  brethren,  be  ye  steadfast,  un- 
moveable,  always  abounding  in  the  work  of  the  Lord,  for 
as  much  as  ye  know  that  your  labour  is  not  vain  in  the 
Lord.—l  Cor.  15:51-58. 

1  The  Way  of  the  Christ  is  called  in  Isaiah 
35:8,  ^^The  way  of  holiness."  The  prophet 
declares  that  ^^the  unclean  shall  not  pass  over 
it  but  it  shall  be  for  those,"  that  is,  whoever 
enters  that  path  of  regeneration  begins  to  be 
clean  with  his  first  step  and,  in  order  to  pro- 
gress (^^pass  over  it")  he  must  grow  cleaner 
with  every  step. 


All  the  Way  21 

2  Health  is  one  of  the  requisites  of  the 
Candidate:  every  cell  that  has  been  liable  to 
corruption  must  be  cleansed  of  all  such  ten- 
dency and  become,  in  form  and  substance, 
absolutely  without  corruption. 

3  Therefore  an  education  of  complete 
purity  begins  in  the  feeling  and  thinking  na- 
ture. Every  lustful  thought  is  arrested  in- 
stantly. ^^You  are  none  of  mine,"  said  one 
faithful  student  who  began  to  see  that  the 
unwelcome  suggestions  coming  to  him  did  not 
originate  with  him.  And  the  thoughts  receded 
like  the  voice  of  a  dream. 

4  Every  involuntary  response  in  the  body 
to  a  lustful  suggestion  is  arrested,  while  com- 
munion begins  silently  with  the  Holy  One 
within,  our  incorruptible  Self. 

5  Such  an  inner  work  begins  the  cleansing 
of  the  cells  of  the  body.  Whatever  appear- 
ance of  corruption  may  then  force  itself  upon 
one's  notice  must  be  treated  as  though  it  were 
the  whole  body,  rising  from  the  dead. 

6  A  faithful  demonstration  with  a  single 
cell,  is  the  uplifting  (raising  up  or  resurrec- 
tion) of  all  the  cells — the  whole  body.  There- 
fore walk  honestly,  in  purity  and  in  strength, 
from  one  incorruptible  expression  to  another, 
until  this  whole  body  is  ^^clothed  upon  with 
our  house  which  is  from  heaven,"  (2  Cor.  5 :2) . 

7  Perpetual  youth  is  another  requisite  of 
those  who  are  Candidates  for  the  Christ  at- 


22  All  the  Way 

tainment.  ^^His  flesh  shall  be  fresher  than  a 
child's:  he  shall  return  to  the  days  of  his 
youth,"  (Job  33:25). 

8  It  matters  not  how  many  years  may  seem 
to  have  accumulated,  let  the  Candidate  but 
become  young  in  heart  and  mind  through  re- 
membering that  the  True  Self  is  ever  youthful 
(even  while  it  is  the  Ancient  of  Days)  and 
thereupon  the  body  will  begin  to  show  re- 
newal, and  the  whole  being  be  filled  with 
interest,  enthusiasm,  joy  and  strength. 

9  It  is  promised  that  those  who  serve  their 
God-Self  shall  renew  their  strength  (Is. 
40:31)  ;  they  shall  know  no  weariness;  they 
shall  cast  their  burdens  upon  the  Lord;  they 
shall  not  fail  nor  faint  nor  lose  courage,  but 
they  ^^shall  renew  their  youth  like  the  eagle's" 
(the  phoenix)  ;  and  all  these  things  are  looked 
for  in  this  Path  of  wisdom. 

10  For  the  Way  of  the  Christ  is  a  joyous 
road  wherein  all  the  world's  pleasures  return 
to  their  innocence,  purity  and  full  zest.  '^They 
shall  obtain  joy  and  gladness,  and  sorrow  and 
sighing  shall  flee  away,"  (Is.  35:10).  For 
Christ's  way  is  truly  the  path  of  Wisdom,  of 
whom  it  is  written,  ^^Her  ways  are  ways  of 
pleasantness  and  all  her  paths  are  peace," 
(Prov.  3:17). 

1 1  Take  every  tear  as  a  sign  that  some  of 
the  old  life  remains,  and  begin  to  purge  the 
memory  of  its  gloomy  pictures  and  imagina- 


All  the  Way  23 

tions;  heal  the  feelings  of  false  sensitiveness, 
self-pity  and  the  sense  of  the  reality  of  the 
wrongs  and  griefs  of  mortality.  Tenderness 
and  sweet  sympathy  and  compassion  are  Christ 
powers  that  act  most  perfectly  when  free  from 
the  weakness  of  tears. 

12  The  Way  of  Christ  is  all  joy  and  all 
that  walk  it  should  walk  in  peace  and  happi- 
ness, adhering  as  faithfully  to  these  expres- 
sions of  the  true  Life,  as  the  ancient  religion- 
ists held  to  morality  and  goodness. 

13  ^^In  the  way  of  righteousness  is  life; 
and  in  the  pathway  thereof  there  is  no  death" 
(Prov.  12:28)  and  all  meditation  upon  death 
is  finished.  There  is  no  looking  forward  to  it 
as  a  release,  nor  is  there  any  fear  of  death  and 
what  will  follow. 

14  ^^I  AM  the  Door"  and  ^^I  Am  the  Life," 
says  the  Christ,  therefore  Life  is  the  Door 
and  not  death.  Every  Candidate  should  press 
on  ardently  to  the  Door  of  the  Christ  Life  to 
pass  quickly  to  the  powers  of  the  Ascension. 
For  none  can  serve  God  and  humanity  so 
effectually  and  efficiently  as  those  who  are  free 
to  function  with  their  whole  being  upon  any, 
and  all,  planes,  a  power  in  which  Jesus  Christ 
dwells  now  who,  describing  that  state,  de- 
clared ^^AU  power  is  given  unto  me  in  heaven 
and  in  earth,"  (Matt.  28:18). 

15  ^^But  some  doubt,"  questioning  their 
ability  to  reach  the  goal.    Let  them  then  seek 


24  All  the  Way 

to  live  the  long  life,  even  the  patriarchal  age, 
and  use  each  year  w^ith  all  faithfulness  to  sur- 
mount unbelief  and  let  God  work  out  his  own 
divine  desire  concerning  them. 

16  More  than  anything  else,  seek  to  be 
infused  vv^ith  the  divine  breath  called  the  Holy 
Spirit.  This  is  the  baptism  that  brings  about 
all  things.  It  is  the  instantaneous  and  uni- 
versal working  of  the  whole  of  Heaven  in 
Man. 

17  Prayer  is  the  one  supreme  instrument 
given  to  man  by  God  for  all  attainment.  ^Tray 
without  ceasing."  ^Watch  and  pray  always." 
^^This  Spirit  itself  maketh  intercession  for  us." 

18  Prayer  is  the  Word  of  God.  It  is  God 
speaking  to  God.  It  is  the  Breath  of  God  that 
is  back  of  our  physical  breath,  and  when  we 
are  alert  in  consciousness  of  prayer  or  breath- 
ing from  God,  if  our  physical  breath  were 
suspended,  we  would  continue  life  in  this 
physical  form  through  the  Soul-breath  until 
the  physical  breath  should  again  be  free. 

19  ^^Tarry  ye  in  the  city  of  Jerusalem" — 
abide  in  spiritual  and  moral  form  and  true- 
ness,  ^^until  ye  be  endued  with  power  from  on 
high,"  (Luke  24:52).  ^Then  returned  they 
unto  Jerusalem"  and  ^^all  continued  with  one 
accord  in  prayer  and  supplication"  (Acts 
1 :12,  14)  ^^and  when  the  day  of  Pentecost  was 
fully  come,  they  were  all  with  one  accord  in 
one  place,  and  suddenly  there  came  a  sound 


All  the  Way  25 

from  heaven  as  of  a  rushing  mighty  wind,  and 
it  filled  all  the  house  where  they  were  sitting. 
And  there  appeared  unto  them  cloven  tongues 
like  as  of  fire  and  it  sat  upon  each  of  them. 
And  they  were  all  filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost," 
(Acts  2:1  to  4). 

^^If  ye  then  being  evil  know  how  to  give 
good  gifts  to  your  children:  how  much  more 
shall  your  heavenly  Father  give  the  Holy 
Spirit  to  them  that  ask  him." 

20  Forty  days  had  the  disciples  communed 
mth  the  resurrected  Jesus  Christ,  upon  the 
^^things  pertaining  to  the  kingdom  of  God," 
(Acts  1 :3),  and  then  they  witnessed  his  ^^  taking 
up."  And,  following  his  command,  they 
stayed  close  in  Jerusalem  abiding  and  praying 
with  one  accord  for  ten  days,  and  on  the 
Fiftieth  Day  after  the  Passover  week  (from 
the  day  of  the  Resurrection)  the  same  bap- 
tism descended  upon  the  disciples  that  came 
upon  Jesus  as  he  went  up  out  of  the  water- 
baptism  of  John  the  Baptist,  (Mark  1 :10,  11). 

Meditate  upon  this  initiation  of  those  who 
walk  all  the  way  with  Christ,  and  pray  and 
commune  with  the  Spirit  and  wait  on  the  Lord 
until  you  know  yourself  ^^endued  with  power 
from  on  high." 


Ill 

They  which  shall  be  accounted  worthy  to  obtain  that 
world,  and  the  resurrection  from  the  dead,  neither  marry, 
nor  are  given  in  marriage, — Luke  20:35. 

Behold  the  bridegroom  cometh;  go  ye  out  to  meet  him. 
—Matt.  25 :6. 

Let  your  loins  be  girded  about,  and  your  lights  burn- 
ing; and  ye  yourselves  like  unto  men  that  wait  for  their 
Lord,  when  he  will  return  from  the  wedding;  that  ivhen 
he  cometh  and  knocketh,  they  may  open  unto  him  imme- 
diately.— Luke  12:35,  36. 

And  the  Spirit  and  the  bride  say.  Come.  And  let  him 
that  heareth  say.  Come. — Rev.  22:17. 

All  men  cannot  receive  this  saying,  save  they  to  whom 
it  is  given.  For  there  are  some  eunuchs,  which  were  so 
born  from  their  mothers  womb:  and  there  are  some 
eunuchs,  which  were  made  eunuchs  of  men:  and  there  be 
eunuchs,  zvhich  have  made  themselves  eunuchs  for  the 
kingdom  of  heaven  s  sake.  He  that  is  able  to  receive  it, 
let  him  receive  it. — Matt.  19:11,  12. 

Strive  to  enter  in  at  the  strait  gate;  for  many,  I  say 
unto  you,  will  seek  to  enter  in,  and  shall  not  be  able. — 
Luke  13:24. 

I  am  the  Way. — ^John  14:6. 

/  am  the  Door.— John  10:7,  9. 

By  me  if  any  man  enter  in,  he  shall  be  saved,  and  shall 
go  in  and  out  and  find  pasture. — John  10:9. 

Enter  ye  in  at  the  strait  gate:  for  wide  is  the  gate,  and 
broad  is  the  way,  that  leadeth  to  destruction,  and  many 
there  be  which  go  in  thereat.  Because  strait  is  the  gate, 
and  narrow  is  the  way  which  leadeth  unto  life,  and  few 
there  be  that  find  it. — Matt.  7:13,  14. 


All  the  Way  27 

To  him  that  overcometh  will  I  grant  to  sit  with  me  on 
my  throne,  .  .  .  Behold  I  have  set  before  thee  an 
open  doorj  and  no  man  can  shut  it. — Rev.  3:21,  8. 

1  Ability  to  make  the  Heights,  living  to, 
and  in,  the  New  Age  and  overcoming  death, 
is  especially  indicated  by  one's  freedom  from 
the  thought  of  marriage  and  turning  wholly 
from  marrying  or  being  given  in  marriage. 

2  All  expectancy  of  happiness  through 
finding  a  mate  on  the  earth  must  be  turned 
to  Christ,  as  the  one  spiritual  Bridegroom,  to 
God,  as  the  one  Husband.  ^^Thy  maker  is  thy 
husband,"  (Is.  54:5). 

3  In  the  regeneration,  every  woman  is  to 
the  candidate,  his  Mother  or  Sister,  every  man, 
her  Father  or  Brother,  and  these  relationships 
are  with  the  Christ  within  each. 

4  The  union  with  the  Universal  is  realized 
through  giving  the  closest  relationship,  that 
human  beings  can  have,  to  God,  Christ  and 
the  Holy  Spirit,  finding  the  Bridegroom  in 
these,  likewise  the  Bride. 

5  The  portals  of  immortality  are  opened 
only  to  Virginity,  which  is  first  a  conscious- 
ness, completed  by  the  outer  form  of  being 
sealed  unto  the  Lord. 

6  The  heart  and  mind  receive  the  seal 
when  all  one's  generative  powers  are  turned 
from  flesh  use  and  carnal  pleasure.  Then  the 
psychical  nature  is  sealed  from  astral  imposi-

tion,  as  we  read  in  Ezekiel  9:4  (^^the  mark," 
according  to  Tertullian  was  X  the  Tau  Cross) 
and  Rev.  7:3.  ^^Sealed  in  their  foreheads"  is 
more  literally,  in  the  top  of  the  head,  where 
we  are  psychically  open,  as  a  babe  is  physically 
open,  until  the  Master  of  Regeneration  has 
sealed  us,  as  fruit  is  sealed  with  wax  and  so 
protected  from  the  fermentation  of  corruption 
and  death. 

7  Then  follows  the  sealing  of  the  body  as 
in  a  virgin  state,  so  that  the  physical  skin 
hermetically  (so  called  because  of  the  magic 
of  Hermes  or  Thoth,  god  of  thought)  seals 
the  whole  body  from  the  intrusion  of  death 
and  decomposition.  ^^And  after  my  skin  hath 
compassed  this  body,  in  my  flesh  I  shall  see 
God*  [immortality],"  Job  19:26  —  Young's 
Translation  combined  with  A.  V. 

8  While  one  appears  to  be  in  a  sensual 
world,  in  order  not  to  be  ^^of  it"  there  must  be 
a  perpetual  alertness  not  to  be  seduced  by  the 
false  suggestions  of  one's  own  old  nature  or  by 
false  prophets  who  do  not  accept  Jesus  Christ. 

9  For  more  candidates  have  fallen  by  the 
wayside,  who  were  near  to  their  goal,  by  a 
false  attitude  as  to  sex  than  by  any  other  error. 
Theirs  is  the  failure  of  David,  who  through 
the  weakness  of  sex  desire  became  ^^a  man  of 
blood,"  causing  the  death  of  Bathsheba's  hus- 
band,  and  so  he  could  not  build  the  house  of

the  Lord,  that  is,  his  immortal  body  on  the 
earth. 

10  Keep  ^^oil  for  your  lamps"  by  conserv- 
ing your  creative  powers,  increasing  in  knowl- 
edge and  in  other  ways  ^^aying  up  treasures 
in  heaven";  so  shall  you  be  a  ^Vise  virgin," 
ready  for  the  cosmic  consciousness  when  it 
shall  descend  upon  you. 

11  ^^Gird  up  your  loins"  by  refraining 
from  loose  speech  and  habits  and  ways  respect- 
ing sexual  matters,  yet  ^^quit  you  like  men" 
who  are  virile  and  free  and  a  law  unto  them- 
selves. 

12  By  this  fine  culture,  all  the  senses  grow 
very  refined,  alert,  delicate  and  sensitive,  so 
that  one  hears  instantly  the  gentle  knock  of 
the  True  Self  (the  Bridegroom)  and  opens 
the  Door  to  him  immediately. 

13  All  are  being  called  to  this  Perfect 
Life,  and  he  who  hears  the  call  should  not 
hesitate  to  call  others  as  he  sees  they  will 
listen.  But  no  one  is  to  be  pressed  to  walk  all 
the  Way,  for  only  those  can  enter  the  path  to 
remain  who  have  the  inner  urge.  All  shall  be 
taught  of  God  (John  6:45)  eventually,  and 
step  upon  the  great  Way.  We  can  invite  them 
to  live  this  life  but  only  God  in  them  can 
respond  to,  and  accept,  this  invitation. 

14  Those  who  are  able  to  enter  the  virgin 
life  and  there  abide,  are  divided  into  three 
classes,  according  to  Jesus  (Matt.  19:12)  :  (1) 


30  All  the  Way 

Those  who  from  birth  have  been  able  to  con- 
trol their  sex  desire;  (2)  Those  who  have 
continued  in  the  virgin  life  because  circum- 
stances have  compelled  it.  It  is  as  though 
there  had  been  a  secret  understanding  with 
their  guardian  angels,  that  he  or  she  should 
be  kept  from  lawless  or  even  lawful  carnal 
intercourse,  because  the  desire  to  go  all  the 
Way  would  be  greater. 

15  The  third  class  are  those  who  may  have 
lost  their  virginity  through  earthly  marriaee, 
or  through  ignorant  license,  or  through  assault. 
But  when  they  learn  that,  to  go  all  the  Way 
they  must  become  as  a  little  child,  or  youths 
and  maidens  whose  virginity  is  inviolate,  then 
their  hearts  are  given  to  the  pure  Christ  life, 
and  God  works  with  them  to  deliver  them 
finally  from  all  external  temptation  and  carnal 
approach. 

16  With  all  the  zeal  in  you,  seek  to  go 
into  the  Way  by  the  Absolute  Truth  and  per- 
fect obedience  to  the  Christ.  Many  are  trying 
to  enter  into  this  complete  bliss,  but  only  those 
will  succeed  who  co-operate  absolutely  with 
Jesus  Christ. 

\7  For  Jesus  Christ  is  the  only  one  who 
has  walked  all  the  Way  to  translation  in  the 
sight  of  men.  Enoch  walked  with  God  and 
pleased  God  and  so  was  translated,  but  he  took 
his  secret  with  him.  Therefore  Jesus  is  the 
Way  to  be  translated. 


All  the  Way  31 

18  But  the  Ascension  is  more  than  transla- 
tion. Enoch  and  Elijah  were  translated  into 
the  heavenly  realm,  but  they  know  not  the 
Way  to  be  translated  back  into  the  earthly 
realm,  but  this  was  what  Jesus  accomplished. 
^^By  me  if  any  man  enter  in  he  shall  be  saved 
and  go  in  and  out.    I  am  the  Door." 

19  The  Gate  and  the  Way  are  so  narrow 
that  only  one  can  walk  that  Way,  and  only  one 
can  enter  that  Gate  or  Door.  That  one  is  the 
Christ  and  to  enter  that  Gate  and  not  be  chal- 
lenged by  the  Porter  (the  Cherubims,  Gen. 
3:24;  'To  him  [the  Christ]  the  porter 
openeth,"  John  10:3)  we  must  be  able  to  give 
the  password,  ''I  am  the  Christ." 

20  All  mortality  is  in  the  broad  road  that 
leads  to  death  and  destruction.  Back  and 
forth,  round  and  round  they  wander,  yet  the 
straight  and  narrow  road  runs  right  through 
and  across  the  broad  way,  as  the  straight  line 
runs  through  the  serpentine  ^^S"  in  the  dollar 
mark.  And  any  moment  the  wanderer  can 
enter  the  Way  if  he  will, 

''How  far  is  it  to  Heaven? 
Not  very  far  my  friend ; 
A  single,  hearty  step 

Will  all  your  journey  end." 

21  All  roads  may  lead  to  Rome  but  only 
one  road  leads  to  Heaven.  Only  the  Absolute 
Truth,  with  no  dualism  in  it,  contains  all  the 
principles.    Only  one  Master,  Jesus  Christ,  he 


32  All  the  Way 

who  walked  all  the  Way  and  entered  in  at  the 
Door  can  guide,  all  other  Masters,  Gurus, 
Prophets,  Law-givers  and  Saviors  have  left 
their  disciples  to  wander  alone  finally  to  die, 
falling  short  of  the  mark.  But  Jesus  Christ 
though  invisible  still  walks  with  his  followers, 
and  will  continue  to  do  so  to  the  end  of  time. 

22  Bend  your  whole  being  with  all  zeal, 
prayer,  devotion,  faithfulness,  fullness  of  love, 
to  co-operate  with  Christ  who  has  overcome 
the  world,  the  flesh  and  the  devil;  and  you 
will  find  yourself  on  the  throne  of  Christ  with 
all  power  in  heaven  and  on  earth,  with  death 
under  foot  and  with  the  Hosts  of  Heaven  and 
the  inhabitants  of  the  earth  glorifying  God, 
that  he  has  given  such  power  and  honor  to 
men.

Whosoever  will  come  after  me,  let  him  deny  himself 
and  take  up  his  cross  and  follow  me, — Mark  8 :38. 

And  he  that  taketh  not  his  cross,  and  follow eth  after 
me,  is  not  worthy  of  me. — Matt.  10:38. 

Whosoever  shall  seek  to  save  his  life  shall  lose  it;  and 
whosoever  shall  lose  his  life  shall  preserve  it. — Luke  17 :33. 

For  whosoever  will  save  his  life  shall  lose  it'  and  who- 
soever will  lose  his  life  for  my  sake  shall  find  it. — Matt. 
16:25. 

How  can  ye  believe  which  receive  honour  one  of  another 
and  seek  not  the  honour  that  cometh  from  God  only? — 
John  5:44. 

/  receive  not  honour  from  men. — ^John  5  :41. 

/  seek  not  mine  own  glory. — ^John  8 :50. 

/  seek  not  mine  own  will. — ^John  5  :30. 

/  can  of  mine  own  self  do  nothing. — ^John  5  :30. 

The  son  can  do  nothing  of  himself. — ^John  5:19. 

/  speak  not  of  myself. — John  14:10. 

He  that  speaketh  of  himself  seeketh  his  own  glory:  but 
he  that  seeketh  his  glory  that  sent  him,  the  same  is  true 
and  no  unrighteousness  is  in  him. — ^John  7:18. 

Be  not  ye  called  Rabbi:  for  one  is  your  Master,  even 
Christ;  and  all  ye  are  brethren.  Neither  be  ye  called 
masters:  for  one  is  your  Master,  even  Christ. — Matt. 
23:8,  10. 

Why  callest  thou  me  good?  There  is  none  good  but 
one,  that  is,  God. — Matt.  19:17. 

When  ye  have  done  all  those  things  which  are  com- 
manded you,  say.  We  are  unprofitable  servants:  we  have 
done  that  which  was  our  duty  to  do. — Luke  17:10. 


34  All  the  Way 

For  thine  is  the  kingdom,  and  the  power,  and  the  glory, 
for  ever.     Amen. — Matt.  6:13. 

Put  off  .  .  .  the  old  man  which  is  corrupt  .  .  . 
and  be  renewed  in  the  spirit  of  your  mind,  and  .  .  .  put 
on  the  new  man  which  after  God  is  created  in  righteou- 
ness  and  true  holiness. — Eph.  4:22,  23,  24. 

Ye  have  put  off  the  old  man  with  his  deeds,  and  have 
put  on  the  new  man  which  is  renewed  in  knowledge  after 
the  image  of  him  that  created  him. — Col.  3:9,  10. 


1  The  selfless  life  is  the  magical  power  to 
draw  God  and  to  be  filled  with  one's  Divinity. 

2  The  human  /  am  must  become  utterly 
nothing  to  human  sense  while  the  divine  I  AM 
takes  its  place. 

3  This  is  an  accomplishment  utterly  im- 
possible without  the  conscious  co-operation  of 
Jesus  Christ,  who  brings  it  to  pass  by  his  God- 
knowledge  and  power. 

4  Perpetual,  silent  prayer  to  the  Father  to 
remove  and  dissolve  the  human  selfhood  must 
be  the  ready  weapon  of  him  who  would  make 
the  attainment. 

5  To  annul  and  neutralize  the  subtle  asser- 
tion of  the  human  self  means  alertness,  watch- 
fulness and  unceasing  communion  with  one's 
Divinity. 

6  For  the  little  /  am  merges  so  completely 
into  the  great  I  AM  that  ultimately  all  that  is 
declared  applies  (to  human  sense)  to  both, 
and  no  sharp  line  of  distinction  can  be  drawn. 


All  the  Way  35 

7  Previous  to  that  conscious  at-one-ment, 
the  little  /  am  must  be  thoroughly  cleansed  of 
all  sense  of  separate  selfhood,  which  expresses 
itself  as  vanity,  self-conceit,  egotism,  self- 
praise  and  pride. 

8  Close  the  lips  when  tempted  to  tell  some- 
thing to  one's  own  credit,  or  that  will  draw 
forth  the  admiration  of  others. 

9  And  if  unconsciously  you  have  told  that 
which  brings  a  response  of  praise  from  others, 
silently  repeat  ^^Thine  the  glory,"  ^^Thine  the 
glory,"  until  all  personal  feeling  of  self-satis- 
faction has  subsided  and  become  still. 

10  For  we  can  do  and  be  nothing  of  our- 
selves. AH  the  intelligence  we  have  is  God 
shining  through.  All  the  beauty  is  God-pres- 
ence. All  the  skill,  bravery,  strength,  wit, 
talent,  genius,  are  from  the  Christ-self,  and 
nothing  comes  from  our  human  self. 

1 1  Watch  that  no  comparisons  rise  in  your 
thoughts  and  so  begin  to  voice  through  your 
lips,  between  yourself  and  others,  such  as  ''I 
would  never  do  that." 

12  Ordinary  boasting,  the  spiritual  know 
how  to  avoid,  but  the  subtle  tributes  to  one's 
human  position,  name,  ability,  etc. — all,  one 
must  learn  to  repudiate,  and  this  silently,  lest 
even  this  act  draw  forth  further  expressions 
to  be  overcome.  And  the  silent  reminder  can 
be,  ^Thou  only!    Thou  only!" 


36  All  the  Way 

13  Pride  of  family  passes  away.  Is  not 
the  Divine  in  all  humanity  our  family?  We 
have  but  one  Father,  but  one  Ancestor,  God. 
Every  form  of  pride  is  put  under  foot  by  the 
power  of  the  Spirit. 

14  Arrogance  may  lie  crouching  quite  un- 
known to  us.  If  so,  then  we  draw  crosses. 
We  are  misunderstood,  snubbed,  blamed  un- 
justly, neglected,  insulted.  When  these  ap- 
pear, instead  of  resenting  them,  secretly  re- 
joice that,  by  your  non-resistance,  some  secret 
error  is  being  dissolved  and  passing  away  for- 
ever. 

15  Embrace  every  cross.  Do  not  run 
away  from  your  problems.  Walk  up  to  them 
and  make  yourself  one  with  them  through 
prayer  and  conscious  co-operation  with  Christ, 
your  yoke-fellow. 

16  Be  skillful  so  as  not  to  antagonize  oth- 
ers with  your  goody-goodness.  Let  not  your 
good  make  others  feel  evil. 

17  Let  not  your  unselfishness  hide  from 
you  the  common  forms  of  selfishness  that  rise 
from  our  beliefs  in  what  are  ^^our  rights" 
and  what  "is  due  us."  Watch  self-congratu- 
lation upon  "getting  the  best"  of  another,  also 
the  resentment  and  "blues"  when  another  gets 
an  advantage  over  you. 

18  Not  "What  is  there  in  it  for  me?"  but 
"How  can  I  serve  another?"  Not  "Where 
do  I  come  in?"  but  "What  can  I  do  for  you?" 


All  the  Way  37 

19  It  is  not  enough  to  be  unselfish.  Let 
us  break  down  all  indifference  to  the  welfare 
of  our  fellow  beings.  Let  us  love  as  Christ 
loves.  It  is  Christ  in  us  that  does  that.  Pray 
for  it. 

20  Are  you  afraid  to  lose  an  advantage,  a 
pleasure,  some  measure  of  praise,  something 
that  is  your  very  life?  Can  you  lose  any- 
thing in  reality?  If  you  think  you  can,  then 
lose  it  this  moment  in  Christ.  Let  it  go. 
Loose  it. 

21  Loose  from  your  mind  every  sense  of 
loss  and  be  free.  Then  you'll  find  the  reality 
of  what  you  prize  abiding  with  you  forever 
and  taking  form  after  form. 

22  Be  fearless  before  public  opinion.  Be 
rightly  indififerent  to  what  ^^they  say,"  so  long 
as  you  know  you  are  being  true  to  your  prin- 
ciples. 

23  When  you  discover  yourself  thinking 
how  you  can  please  the  ear  of  man  and  call 
forth  his  praise,  fly  to  your  heavenly  Father, 
seeking  his  pleasure,  to  be  honored  only  by 
him.  Herein  lies  a  secret  of  enlarging  one's 
faith  and  power  to  believe. 

24  Be  finished  with  titles  and  the  desire 
to  be  a  leader,  or  to  excel  others  in  anything. 
Let  your  desire  to  excel  be  only  to  please  God 
and  honor  the  Truth. 

25  As  we  walk  all  the  way  we  shed  the 
old   life,   form,   loves   and  ways   as   the  old 


38  All  the  Way 

leaves  of  the  live-oak  fall  to  earth  with  the 
coming  of  the  new  growth.  We  know  with 
Paul,  ^^I  live,  yet  not  I — it  is  Christ  that  lives 
in  me." 


By  this  shall  all  men  know  that  ye  are  my  disciples^ 
if  ye  have  love  one  to  another, — John  13:35. 

A  new  commandment  I  give  unto  you.  That  ye  love 
one  another;  as  I  have  loved  you,  that  ye  also  love  one 
another.  As  the  Father  hath  loved  me,  so  have  I  loved 
you,— ^ohn  13:34-15:9. 

Love  your  enemies,  bless  them  that  curse  you,  do  good 
to  them  that  hate  you  and  pray  for  them  which  despite- 
fully  use  you  and  persecute  you, — Matt.  5  :44. 

For  if  ye  love  them  which  love  you,  what  thank  have 
yef  for  sinners  also  love  those  that  love  them. — Luke  6 :32. 

And  if  ye  do  good  to  them  which  do  good  to  you  what 
thank  have  yef  for  sinners  also  do  even  the  same. — Luke 
6:33. 

And  as  ye  would  that  men  should  do  to  you,  do  ye 
also  to  them  likewise. — Luke  6:31. 

Give  to  him  that  asketh  thee,  and  from  him  that  would 
borrow  of  thee  turn  not  thou  away. — Matt  5  :42. 

And  if  ye  lend  to  them  of  whom  ye  hope  to  receive, 
what  thank  have  yef  for  sinners  also  lend  to  sinners, 
to  receive  as  much  again. — Luke  6:34. 

And  unto  him  that  smiteth  thee  on  the  one  cheek  offer 
also  the  other;  and  him  that  taketh  away  thy  cloak  forbid 
not  to  take  thy  coat  also. — Luke  6:29. 

And  why  beholdest  thou  the  mote  that  is  in  thy  broth- 
er s  eye,  but  perceivest  not  the  beam  that  is  in  thine  own 
eyef— Luke  6:41. 

Either  how  canst  thou  say  to  thy  brother.  Brother,  let 
me  pull  out  the  mote  thai  is  in  thine  eye,  when  thou 
beholdest  not  the  beam  that  is  in  thine  own  eyef  Thou 
hypocrite  cast  out  first  the  beam  that  is  in  thine  own  eye. 


40  All  the  Way 

then  shalt  thou  see  clearly  to  pull  out  the  mote  that  is  in 
thy  brothers  eye. — Luke  6:42. 

Forgive  and  ye  shall  be  forgiven,  I  say  not  unto  thee. 
Until  seven  times:  but  until  seventy  times  seven, — Luke 
6:37,  Matt.  18:22. 

Father  forgive  them,  they  know  not  what  they  do. — 
Luke  23:34. 

Judge  not  and  ye  shall  not  be  judged:  condemn  not 
and  ye  shall  not  be  condemned:  forgive  and  ye  shall  be 
forgiven. — Luke  6:37. 

For  if  ye  forgive  men  their  trespasses,  your  heavenly 
Father  will  also  forgive  you.  So  likewise  will  my  heav- 
enly Father  do  also  unto  you,  if  ye  from  your  hearts 
forgive  not  every  one  his  brother  their  trespasses. — Matt. 
6:14,  Matt.  18:35. 

1  Loving  is  the  one  supreme  sign  that  one 
is  in  the  Way.  Though  one  have  a  correct 
belief,  a  faith  that  works  miracles,  a  morality 
unimpeachable,  a  name  for  greatest  philan- 
thropy, yet  if  Love  is  not  complete  the  at- 
tainment will  not  be  made. 

2  This  Love  is  a  gift  of  God  and  it  rests 
in  us  as  the  presence  of  our  heavenly  Father. 
By  faith  in  it  and  prayer  for  it,  this  Love  is 
uncovered  and  expresses  itself  to  perfection. 

3  It  draws  no  line  with  anyone.  It  does 
not  wait  to  find  lovableness  but  with  every 
enemy  finds  only  a  larger  opportunity  to  love 
— not  in  theory  but  actual  love  from  day  to 
day  until  success  comes — the  enmity  has  gone 
forever. 

4  For  every  unkind  thought  another  is 
sending,  radiate  a  genuinely  approving 


All  the  Way  41 

thought.  For  every  malicious  word  spoken 
to  one's  face,  or  reported  as  having  been  said, 
give  a  good  word  back  either  silently  or  audi- 
bly. Feel  these  in  your  heart  by  the  help  of 
God. 

5  Those  who  are  hating  you,  take  special 
steps  to  do  something  good  to  them  or  for 
them — do  it  so  secretly  that  none  shall  know 
until  everything  secret  shall  be  revealed. 

6  If  anyone  is  treating  you  unjustly,  snub- 
bing you  or  ignoring  you,  holding  you  in  con- 
tempt, scandalizing  you  or  in  any  way  tor- 
menting, take  each  act  as  a  pressure  upon  you 
to  exude  more  of  the  perfume  of  your  soul. 

7  It  is  easy  to  love  those  who  are  loving 
to  us,  we  can  whirl  in  a  circle  of  contentment 
when  no  opposition  comes  into  our  lives. 
Progress  comes  when  opposition  presses  us  out 
of  our  smug  contentment  with  mediocrity. 

8  Those  who  are  degenerating  can  do 
good  to  those  who  are  good  to  them.  But  re- 
generation means  doing  good  to  those  who 
know  us  not,  who  cannot  make  any  return  even 
to  the  extent  of  expressing  appreciation. 

9  All  things  are  from  the  Lord,  and  if 
there  be  any  opposition  take  it  as  from  the 
Lord  and  all  sting  will  be  gone — peace  only 
reigns. 

10  Remember  that  all  belongs  to  all  and 
in  giving,  you  are  but  passing  one's  own  along 


42  All  the  Way 

to  him.    In  such  giving  there  is  no  loss.    Wha 
gives  to  the  Lord,  gains. 

11  It  is  written,  Thou  shalt  lend  to  many, 
but  borrow  from  none.  Who  lends  to  the 
Christ  without  thought  of  return  shall  be  de« 
livered  from  imposition. 

12  Take  from  your  mind  and  heart  all 
opposition,  resentment,  resistance  and  revenge, 
and  the  Way  will  become  smooth  so  that  you 
will  walk  it  as  upon  winged  feet. 

13  If  you  can  draw  into  your  life  a  law- 
suit make  nothing  of  it.  Trust  the  Spirit  to 
defend  you  and  if  judgment  goes  against  you, 
let  not  a  ripple  disturb  your  peace.  Rather, 
run  out  to  meet  the  demand  upon  you  by  giv- 
ing more  than  is  demanded.  All  these  things 
are  finished  in  mind. 

14  What  is  well  done  in  mind  may  never 
— ^if,  to  the  world,  not  desirable — take  place 
outwardly.  Abraham's  perfect  surrender  of 
Isaac  in  heart  prevented  the  surrender  of 
Isaac's  form. 

15  The  eye  that  renews  its  youth  becomes 
innocent  of  faultfinding;  the  mind,  that  re- 
mains sane,  harbors  no  criticism.  We  remove 
the  motes  from  the  eye  of  our  brother  by 
making  nothing  of  them. 

16  Our  world  is  a  mirror.  Let  us  remove 
every  belief  in  the  reality  of  evil  from  our 
consciousness,  and  our  world  shall  be  free 
from  evil,  even  as  our  thought. 


All  the  Way  43 

17  To  walk  every  step  of  the  fair  Way 
to  the  Ascension,  every  wrong  done  to  us  must 
be  forgotten  never  to  come  into  mind  again. 

18  Substituting  for  the  false  belief  about 
self,  the  Truth  about  the  real  Self  of  another, 
which  is  incapable  of  wronging  anyone,  is  the 
forgiveness  that  heals. 

19  Lift  up  your  eyes  from  every  untrue 
appearance,  and  fill  them  with  the  Christ- 
view,  so  shall  your  eyes  be  to  the  shadows 
of  wrong  as  the  sun  to  darkness. 

20  Forgive  forever  and  to  the  uttermost. 
Let  no  thought  place  limitation  upon  your 
forgiving  power. 

21  Let  your  forgiveness  be  more  than  a 
sentiment;  see  it  as  Power,  the  dynamo  that 
dispels  the  darkness  by  replacing  it  with  the 
light  of  Truth. 

22  Who  judges  not  according  to  appear- 
ance, judges  not  at  all.  For  appearances  are 
the  combination  of  good  and  evil.  Seeing  no 
evil  we  have  nothing  to  judge. 

23  Condemnation  is  death — a  mental  ston- 
ing that  in  the  end  slays  the  slayer,  therefore 
in  the  Way  of  Life  there  is  no  condemnation, 
because  in  the  Way  of  Life  there  is  no  death. 


VI 


No  man  can  serve  two  masters:  for  either  he  will  hate 
the  one,  and  love  the  other;  or  else  he  will  hold  to  the  one, 
and  despise  the  other.  Ye  cannot  serve  God  and  mammon, 
—Matt.  6:24. 

Take  heed  and  beware  of  covetousness :  for  a  mans  life 
consisteth  not  in  the  abundance  of  the  things  which  he 
possesseth, — Luke  12:15. 

And  he  sent  them  to  preach  the  kingdom  of  God,  and 
to  heal  the  sick.  And  he  said  unto  them.  Take  nothing 
for  your  journey,  neither  staves,  nor  scrip,  neither  bread, 
neither  money;  neither  have  two  coats  apiece, — Luke  9:23. 

Thus  said  Jesus  unto  his  disciples.  Verily  I  say  unto 
you.  That  a  rich  man  shall  hardly  enter  into  the  kingdom 
of  God,  And  again  I  say  unto  you.  It  is  easier  for  a 
camel  to  go  through  the  eye  of  a  needle  than  for  a  rich 
man  to  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  God, — Matt.  19:23,  24. 

So  is  he  that  layeth  up  treasure  for  himself  and  is  not 
rich  toward  God, — Luke  12:21. 

Jesus  said  unto  him.  If  thou  wilt  be  perfect,  go  and 
sell  that  thou  hast,  and  give  to  the  poor,  and  thou  shalt 
have  treasure  in  heaven;  and  come  and  follow  me, — Matt. 
19:21. 

Sell  that  ye  have,  and  give  alms;  provide  yourselves 
bags  which  wax  not  old,  a  treasure  in  the  heavens  that 
faileth  not. — Luke  12:33. 

And  why  call  ye  me.  Lord,  Lord,  and  do  not  the  things 
which  I  say?  Whosoever  cometh  to  me  and  heareth  my 
sayings  and  doeth  them,  I  will  show  you  to  whom  he 
is  like: 

He  is  like  a  man  which  built  an  house,  and  digged 
deep,  and  laid  the  foundation  on  a  rock:  and  when  the 


All  the  Way  45 

flood  arose,  the  stream  beat  vehemently  upon  that  house, 
and  could  not  shake  it:  for  it  was  founded  upon  a  rock. 

But  he  that  heareth,  and  doeth  not,  is  like  a  man  that 
without  a  foundation  built  an  house  upon  the  earth; 
against  which  the  stream  did  beat  vehemently,  and  imme- 
diately it  fell;  and  the  ruin  of  that  house  was  great, — 
Luke  6:46-49. 

For  ye  know  the  grace  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  that 
though  he  was  rich  yet  for  your  sakes  he  became  poor,  that 
ye  through  his  poverty  might  be  rich, — 2  Cor.  8 :9. 

/  have  given  you  an  example,  that  ye  should  do  as  I 
have  done  to  you, — ^John  13:15. 

Who  then  is  a  faithful  and  wise  servant,  whom  his 
lord  hath  made  ruler  over  his  household,  to  give  them 
meat  in  due  season^ 

Blessed  is  that  servant,  whom  his  lord  when  he  cometh 
shall  find  so  doing. 

Verily  I  say  unto  you.  That  he  shall  make  him  ruler 
over  all  his  goods, — Matt.  24:45-48. 


1  The  love  of  money  cannot  exist  in  the 
heart  of  the  devotee  who  desires  to  love  God 
and  humanity  with  his  whole  heart. 

2  Therefore  do  nothing  for  the  sake  of 
money.  Give  no  respect  or  consideration  to 
it;  nor  let  it,  or  the  lack  of  it,  be  the  reason 
for  any  of  your  movements  or  of  your  still- 
ness. 

3  God  is  the  only  Power;  all  the  power 
that  money  seems  to  have  is  what  man  gives 
it,  and  is  but  a  reflected  or  secondary  power. 
Acknowledge  God  as  the  only  Reason  and 
Power  in  all  your  ways. 


46  All  the  Way 

4  Early  you  must  decide  whether  you 
shall  be  influenced  by  money  or  by  God;  and 
all  the  Way,  the  consideration  of  money  must 
be  put  into  the  background  and  under  foot. 

5  He  who  would  run,  or  progress  rapid- 
ly, in  the  Way  of  the  Christ  must  know  how 
to  slip  his  wealth  into  the  perpetual  use  and 
benefit  of  humanity. 

6  So  shall  a  man's  stewardship  remain, 
and  he  himself  mount  to  the  Highest. 

7  All  desire  for  possessions  is  transmuted 
to  one  supreme  Desire  for  God. 

8  Neither  the  loss  nor  the  gain  of  things 
disturbs  or  excites  the  one  who  abides  in 
Christ,  for  his  peace  and  joy  remaineth  in 
him. 

9  All  our  circumstances  and  associates  are 
tools  in  God's  hands,  training  us  to  be  indif- 
ferent to  worldly  riches  and  independent  of 
them. 

10  Miraculous  provision  is  one  of  the  de- 
lights of  the  Way. 

11  Accumulations  of  wealth  act  as  the 
dust  and  stone  under  which  to  bury  the  bodies 
of  their  owners. 

12  The  shame  of  dying  rich  is  the  final 
fruit  of  the  pride  of  living  rich. 

13  He  who  walks  the  Way  must  acquire 
the  skill  of  the  Christ,  to  distribute  all  that 
comes  to  him  to  his  neighbors  who  have  need, 


All  the  Way  47 

giving  not  only  one-tenth  but  all  that  he  has, 
and  yet  remain  independent  himself. 

14  Trust-in-riches  is  secretly  and  faith- 
fully transmuted  in  the  heart  of  the  Christ 
candidate  to  trust-in-God. 

15  The  ^^bags  that  wax  not  old"  and  the 
^'house  founded  upon  the  rock"  is  the  Body, 
immortal  and  efficient,  that  develops  for  the 
candidate  who  gives  all  for  all  and,  not  only 
listens  to  the  Christ  directions,  but  also  prac- 
tices them. 

16  In  the  Way  of  the  Christ,  is  also  the 
highway  of  prosperity  for  it  is  the  Path  of 
Wisdom,  in  ^^whose  right  hand  is  length  of 
days  and  in  whose  left  hand  are  riches  and 
honour." 

17  The  glorious  insignia  of  God's  pros- 
perity are  the  enrichment,  comfort  and  free- 
dom that  it  brings  to  others  beside  the  Candi- 
date, through  his  service  and  knowledge  of 
Truth. 

18  To  be  rich  and  yet  to  appear  to  be  in 
moderate  circumstances,  that  others  may  be 
comfortable,  is  to  walk  with  Jesus  Christ  who 
laid  his  own  wealth  on  the  altar  that  all 
might  be  rich. 

19  The  servant  or  steward  who  is  ^^faith- 
iul  to  give  his  household,  meat  in  due  season" 
begins  the  distribution  in  consciousness,  giv- 
ing in  mind  first  and  then  outwardly. 


48  All  the  Way 

20  Give  to  the  Christ  in  every  one,  those 
who  seem  unworthy  as  well  as  the  worthy. 
There  is  only  One  to  give  to  in  every  one,  the 
Christ. 

21  The  generous  giver  wisely  withholds 
until  the  first  gift  is  made — the  true  thought: 

^^You  are  not  poor;  you  are  not  a  beggar; 
you  are  not  deceiving;  you  are  not  worthless. 
You  are  God's  Beloved,  you  are  the  Christ." 

22  The  Inner  Voice  counsels  whether  to 
give  or  to  withhold.  Be  not  impulsive,  be 
inspired. 

23  It  is  Christmas  day  every  day,  when 
Christ  is  the  giver  and  Christ  the  receiver  of 
your  bounty. 

24  Be  unselfish  to  the  point  of  selflessness 
that  does  not  even  think  of  being  unselfish. 

25  Give  in  secret  and  in  the  open,  in  sea- 
son and  out  of  season,  regardless  of  apprecia- 
tion, gratitude  or  thanks. 

26  And  as  graciously  receive  as  you  give. 
Bring  all  things  to  equity  and  equality;  and 
know  only  kings  to  whom  you  give  and,  in 
turn  receive,  as  kings  from  kings.

/  am  come  to  send  fire  on  the  earth, — Luke  12:49. 

For  every  one  shall  be  salted  with  fire. — Mark  9 :49. 

Receive  ye  the  Holy  Ghost:  whose  soever  sins  ye  remit, 
they  are  remitted  unto  them;  and  whose  soever  sins  ye 
retain,  they  are  retained. — ^John  20 :22,  23. 

Judge  not  and  ye  shall  not  be  judged:  condemn  not  and 
ye  shall  not  be  condemned;  forgive,  and  ye  shall  be  for- 
given.— Luke  6:37. 

But  I  say  unto  you.  All  sins  will  be  forgiven  the  sons 
of  men  and  evil  speaking.  But  one,  speaking  evil  against 
the  Holy  Spirit,  may  not  be  forgiven  to  the  end  of  the  age, 
but  is  liable  to  age-lasting  judgment. — Literal  Translation 
of  Mark  3:28,  29. 

Because  they  said.  He  hath  an  unclean  spirit. — Mark 
3:30. 

/  judge  no  man. — ^John  8:15. 

For  with  ivhat  judgment  ye  judae,  ye  shall  be  judged. 
Matt.  7:2. 

Ferily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you.  He  that  heareth  7ny 
word,  and  believe th  on  him  that  sent  me  hath  everlasting 
life  and  shall  not  come  into  judgment,  but  is  passed  from 
death  unto  life. — ^John  5  :24. 

Howbeit  when  he,  the  Spirit  of  truth,  is  come,  he  will 
guide  you  into  all  truth  .  .  .  he  dwelleth  with  you 
and  shall  be  in  you. — ^John  16:13  and  14:17. 

The  Comforter,  which  is  the  Holy  Ghost,  whom  the 
Father  will  send  in  my  name,  he  shall  teach  you  all  things. 
—John  14:26. 

Ye  shall  be  baptized  with  the  Holy  Ghost  not  many 
days  hence. — ^Acts  1 :5. 


50  All  the  Way 

1  In  every  Candidate  for  the  Ascension 
there  breaks  forth  the  Fire  of  the  Holy  Spirit. 

2  This  Fire  is  sweet,  and  a  delight  to 
those  who  will  not  condemn  others  nor  even 
judge  them. 

3  But  this  same  Fire  is  hell  to  those  who 
have  not  learned  to  refrain  from  criticizing 
and  judging  others,  for  they  come  under  their 
own  condemnation  as  well  as  suffering  from 
the  judgment  dealt  to  them  by  others. 

4  Receive  this  Holy  Breath  by  forgiving 
to  the  uttermost  and  training  your  whole  be- 
ing to  see  no  evil,  hear  no  evil  and  speak  no 
evil. 

5  By  utterly  refusing  to  recognize  evil  in 
others  you  will  escape  the  chief  error  of  call- 
ing the  Holy  Spirit  in  another,  an  evil  thing. 

6  Only  the  Holy  Spirit  can  teach  us  the 
Way  to  be  loosened  from  our  subtlest  errors, 
and  to  accept  the  Truth,  which  we  have  con- 
tinually rejected. 

7  For  as  Master  Builders  we  shall  find 
that  the  rejected  Stone,  or  Truth,  becomes  the 
Head  of  the  corner,  the  finishing  of  our  im- 
mortal body. 

8  As  long  as  evil  is  recognized  in  others, 
the  Holy  Breath  may  seem  to  leave  us  for  a 
while — coming  and  going,  as  with  the  early 
Disciples  and  even  Jesus  before  Ascension 
Day. 


All  the  Way  51 

9  The  Holy  Spirit  must  be  a  permanent 
Presence  to  the  senses  of  the  Candidate  who 
would  escape  all  suffering  and  death  on  the 
Way  to  the  Ascension  Mount. 

10  Jesus  finished  all  suffering  and  death 
for  every  one  who  will  understand  his  teach- 
ing, and  will  believe  into  his  own  Godhood 
here  and  now.  Such  have  passed  already 
from  death  to  Immortality. 

11  For  only  the  Holy  Spirit  can  guide 
one  past  the  dangerous  places  where  others 
have  fallen. 

12  And  to  hear  the  slightest  whisper  of 
the  Inner  Voice  at  any  moment  that  its  counsel 
is  needed,  the  imagination  and  the  hearing 
must  be  perfectly  defended  from  evil  reports. 

13  Ceaseless  prayer  must  be  made  for  the 
consciousness  of  hearing  the  Voice  of  the 
Holy  Spirit — daily  declaration  of  its  speak- 
ing within — until  your  ears  are  forever 
opened. 

14  Then  when  the  Voice  of  gentle  silence 
has  reached  your  inner  ear,  it  itself  will  guide 
you  to  listen  to  it  daily. 

15  For  there  must  be  (1)  no  uncertainty 
about  it;  (2)  it  must  be  divinely  impersonal; 
(3)  one  with  the  great  impersonal  Jesus 
Christ;  and  (4)  wholly  without  interference 
from  our  intellect,  feelings  or  senses. 


52  All  the  Way 

16  All  that  Jesus  Christ  taught  about  the 
Inner  Voice  proves  true  in  the  experience  of 
the  devotee. 

17  Study  the  Master's  words  about  the 
Spirit  of  Truth,  called  the  Comforter,  also 
the  Holy  Spirit  and  the  Holy  Ghost  in  John, 
chapters  14,  15  and  16. 

18  The  Holy  Spirit  is  within  you  now 
and  is  evermore  speaking  to  you  as  ^^impres- 
sions," conscience,  ^^that  something,"  intuition, 
etc. 

19  The  Fire  will  reveal  the  work  of  the 
Holy  Spirit  in  your  life  from  the  day  of  your 
first  breath  to  the  present  moment.  Its  works 
last  forever. 

20  The  Holy  Breath  and  the  Love  Fire 
open  your  interior  senses  of  seeing  and  hear- 
ing and  your  prophetic  sense. 

21  Waiting  for  the  Holy  Spirit  to  de- 
velop these,  saves  the  devotee  visions  and  ex- 
periences that  are  undesirable.  ^Wait  on  the 
Lord  and  he  will  bring  it  to  pass." 

22  To  the  life  of  sincere,  faithful  devo- 
tion come  all  the  revelations,  inspirations  and 
other  delights  of  the  heavenly  realm. 

23  Though  these  gifts  may  seem  long  in 
manifestation,  never  be  impatient  nor  disap- 
pointed. In  all  ways  live,  speak,  act  as  though 
they  were  present  now,  for  they  are.  Thereby 
shall  you  be  ever  ready,  and  never  be  taken 
unawares. 


VIII 

And  he  spake  a  parable  unto  them,  to  this  end,  that  men 
ought  always  to  pray,  and  not  to  faint. — Luke  18:1. 

And  he  said  unto  them,  Which  of  you  shall  have  a 
friendj  and  shall  go  unto  him  at  midnight,  and  say  unto 
him.  Friend,  lend  me  three  loaves, 

I  say  unto  you.  Though  he  will  not  rise  and  give  him, 
because  he  is  his  friend,  yet  because  of  his  importunity  he 
will  rise  and  give  him  as  many  as  he  needeth. — Luke 
11:5-8. 

And  I  say  unto  you  Ask,  and  it  shall  be  given  you; 
seek,  and  ye  shall  find;  knock,  and  tt  shall  be  opened  unto 
you, — Luke  1 1 :9. 

//  ye  then,  being  evil,  know  how  to  give  good  gifts 
unto  your  children:  how  much  more  shall  your  heavenly 
Father  give  the  Holy  Spirit  to  them  that  ask  him. — Luke 
11:13. 

And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  as  he  was  praying  in  a  certain 
place,  when  he  ceased,  one  of  his  disciples  said  unto  him. 
Lord,  teach  us  to  pray,  as  John  also  taught  his  disciples. 
—Luke  11:1. 

And  when  thou  pray  est,  thou  shalt  not  be  as  the  hypo- 
crites are  .  .  .  after  this  manner  therefore  pray  ye. 
—Matt.  6:5-9. 

And  when  ye  stand  praying,  forgive,  if  ye  have  ought 
against  any:  that  your  Father  also  which  is  in  heaven  may 
forgive  you  your  trespasses. — Mark  11 :25. 

All  things  whatsoever  ye  shall  ask  in  prayer,  believing, 
ye  shall  receive. — Matt.  21  :21. 

//  ye  shall  ask  anything  in  my  name,  I  will  do  it. — > 
John  14:14. 


54  All  the  Way 

Watch  ye  therefore  and  pray  always,  that  ye  may  he 
accounted  worthy  to  escape  all  these  things  that  shall  come 
to  pass,  and  to  stand  before  the  Son  of  man. — Luke  21 :36. 

1  The  path  direct  to  God  is  every  step  a 
prayer. 

2  Therefore  the  successful  follower  of 
Christ  learns  to  pray  without  ceasing. 

3  Every  temptation  to  fail,  he  makes  an 
occasion  to  commune  with  God  upon  success. 

4  Every  suggesion  to  be  sick,  to  be  afraid, 
to  be  discouraged,  to  sin,  to  let  go  of  life  or 
any  good,  means  to  him  more  determination 
to  talk  with  his  ,  heavenly  Father  about 
Health,  Faith,  Courage,  Love,  Life  and 
Good  of  every  kind. 

5  He  will  not  be  refused.  He  will  never 
let  go.  He  is  the  importunity  that  is  irre- 
sistible. 

6  Three  loaves  we  must  have  for  our 
Friend,  our  Divinity  when  it  comes,  perfec- 
tion of  body,  mind  and  soul — God  only  can 
give  us  this  Perfection. 

7  Ask,  seek,  knock,  day  after  day  and 
believe  into  this  Perfect  Triune  Man. 

8  In  its  simplicity  the  fulfillment  of  every 
prayer  is  the  receiving  of  the  Holy  Spirit  of 
anything  one  may  ask  for. 

9     Pray  to  know  how  to  pray. 

10  Ask  the  Holy  Spirit  to  pray  in  you. 

1 1  Do  not  pray  the  way  that  those  do  who 
receive  no  answers. 


All  the  Way  55 

12  Change  your  own  way  of  praying  until 
realization  comes;  then  you  can  repeat  and 
repeat  and  it  will  not  be  vain,  but  effectual. 

13  If  doubt  or  discouragement  begin  to 
confuse  or  weaken  you,  then  repeat  the  Lord's 
Prayer  even  though  it  be  mechanical. 

14  If  your  prayer  is  aloud,  do  not  think 
how  it  sounds  to  human  ears.  Be  silent  be- 
fore such  thoughts. 

15  A  steady,  faithful  silence  directed  earn- 
estly to  God;  a  breathing,  ^^Father!";  a  fer- 
vent sentence  ^^Thou  knowest";  a  stillness  of 
^^I  believe,"  resting  and  waiting  in  the  Pres- 
ence— these  are  better  than  loud  cries  of 
feverish  unbelief. 

16  Study  all  that  Jesus  Christ  has  taught 
on  prayer.  Learn  his  words.  Sink  into  his 
being,  and  pray  to  the  Father  as  Jesus  Christ's 
own  self. 

17  Above  all  things,  remove  all  barriers 
of  unforgiveness  between  yourself  and  your 
fellow  beings;  put  away  all  criticism,  all  con- 
demnation. 

18  Realize  you  cannot  ask  for  anything 
that  has  not  already  been  given  you.  Prayer 
wipes  out  time  and  space  between  you  and  the 
receiving. 

19  One  hearty  prayer  full  of  faith  and 
realization  should  be  our  first  expression  with 
expectancy  of  immediate  answer. 


56  All  the  Way 

20  If  the  response  is  not  at  once,  then 
prayer  should  be  continued  not  only  in  words 
but  in  new  deeds,  new  thoughts,  new  feelings 
and  new  works  of  the  Christ. 

21  To  have  a  body  that  can  bear  the  new 
life,  a  mind  strong  before  the  new  thoughts,  a 
soul  that  will  stand  firm  before  its  Divinity, 
and  that  one  may  escape  all  the  disasters  and 
calamities  of  the  closing  age,  the  Christian 
must  be  alert,  and  so  prayer-filled,  that  he  is 
the  very  Word  itself,  by  which  all  things 
were  and  are  made.

I  am  the  door;  he  that  entereth  in  by  the  door  is  the 
shepherd  of  the  sheep.  To  him  the  porter  openeth. — John 
10:7,  2,  3. 

/  a?n  the  door:  by  me  if  any  man  enter  in  he  shall  be 
saved  and  shall  go  in  and  out  and  find  pasture. — John 
10:9. 

/  am  the  living  bread  which  came  down  from  heaven: 
if  any  man  eat  of  this  bread,  he  shall  live  forever, — ^John 
6:51. 

My  Father  giveth  you  the  true  bread  from  heaven, 
I  am  the  bread  of  life:  he  that  cometh  to  me  shall  never 
hunger;  and  he  that  believeth  on  me  shall  never  thirst. — 
John  6:32,35. 

Abide  in  me  and  I  in  you. — ^John  15:4. 

He  that  abideth  in  me  and  I  in  him,  the  same  bringeth 
forth  much  fruit;  for  without  me  ye  can  do  nothing. — 
John  15:5. 

//  ye  abide  in  me  and  my  words  abide  in  you,  ye  shall 
ask  what  ye  will,  and  it  shall  be  done  unto  you. — John 
15:7. 

That  they  all  may  be  one;  as  thou.  Father,  art  in  me, 
and  I  in  thee,  that  they  also  may  be  one  in  us. — ^John 
17:21. 

He  that  hath  seen  me  hath  seen  the  Father.  I  and  the 
Father  are  one. — ^John  14:9  and  10:30. 

Know  ye  not  your  own  selves,  how  that  Jesus  Christ 
is  in  youf — 2  Cor.  13:5. 

For  as  many  of  you  as  have  been  baptized  into  Christ 
have  put  on  Christ. — Gal.  3:27. 

Put  ye  on  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ. — Rom.  13:14. 


58  All  the  Way 

The  mystery  which  hath  been  hid  from  ages  ,  .  . 
which  is  Christ  in  you. — Col.  1 :26,  27. 

Christ  is  all,  and  in  all. — CoL  3:11. 

That  we  may  present  every  man  perfect  in  Christ 
Jesus:  for  in  him  dwelleth  all  the  fullness  of  the  God- 
head bodily  and  ye  are  complete  in  him. — Col.  1 :28  and 
2:9,  10. 

/  live;  yet  not  I  but  Christ  liveth  in  me:  and  the  life 
which  I  now  live  in  the  flesh,  I  live  by  the  faith  of  the  Son 
of  Go^.— Gal.  2:20. 


1  Man  is  one  being,  not  a  million.  And 
as  One  Being  only  can  he  attain  immortality 
in  the  flesh  and  the  Ascension. 

2  Jesus  Christ  demonstrated  his  identity 
with  God  and  with  Man,  therefore  his  is  the 
mind  and  the  heart  that  thinks  and  feels 
truly. 

3  Man  is  making  the  same  achievement, 
thinks  the  same  thoughts  and  feels  the  same 
feelings. 

4  Therefore  to  cross  the  portals  of  Eden, 
or  go  through  the  Door  of  the  Ascension, 
Man  must  go  as  Jesus  Christ. 

5  The  name  Jesus  Christ  is  the  password; 
to  him  that  says,  ^^I  am  Jesus  Christ,"  the  sen- 
tinel says,  ^^He  knows,  let  him  pass." 

6  But  if  he  has  not  the  ^Vedding  gar- 
ment," (Matt.  22:11,  12)  the  body  prepared 
for  the  heavenly  consciousness,  he  cannot  re- 
main, but  is  presently  back  in  the  ordinary 
thinking. 


All  the  Way  59 

7  And  none  can  have  the  immortal  body 
except  those  who  are  fed  on,  and  nourished 
by,  the  Truth,  the  substance  and  the  life 
(^'flesh  and  blood")  of  Jesus  Christ. 

8  We  eat  this  Bread  from  Heaven  by 
thinking  Christ's  thoughts,  meditating  upon 
his  words,  making  them  our  very  own,  and 
living  his  life. 

9  As  baby  bees  become  queen  bees  through 
being  fed  upon  royal  bee-bread,  so  those  that 
eat  Christ  become  Christ  in  the  flesh. 

10  In  truth,  we  are  already  Christ.  The 
appearance  of  becoming  Christ  is  only  in  the 
flesh,  the  realm  of  demonstration. 

11  God  and  Christ  are  the  same.  Jesus 
proved  this,  and  the  one  who  merges  himself 
into  Jesus  Christ  will  prove  the  same  truth. 

12  Making  the  union  with  Jesus  Christ  is 
the  beginning  of  unity  with  all  humanity, 
whereby  each  is  brought  to  his  Father's 
house,  fruits  of  the  heavenly  vine. 

13  No  other  Master  ever  rose  to  the 
heights  that  Jesus  achieved,  therefore  there  is 
none  can  instruct  us  in  that  Way  but  Jesus. 
Other  Masters  may  carry  us  far,  but  we  aban- 
don them  for  Christ  when  we  aspire  to  our 
Godhood  while  yet  in  the  flesh. 

14  All  things  are  possible  to  the  Christ 
consciousness,  and  all  that  such  devotees  may 
wish  comes  to  pass  while  they  put  their  wish 
into  the  form  of  prayer. 


60  All  the  Way 

15  Only  God  in  you  can  reveal  the  truth 
that  you  are  Christ. 

16  There  is  but  one  God  and  there  is  but 
one  Man  and  he  is  the  God-man,  the  reality 
of  every  human  form. 

17  Eat  and  drink  the  words  of  Jesus 
Christ,  that  have  been  passed  down  to  us 
through  inspirational  memory,  and  as  a  spe- 
cial gift  of  God  to  his  beloved  world. 

18  He  who  meditates  upon  Jesus'  words, 
turning  them  over  and  over  in  mind;  using 
them  as  his  own;  studying  to  get  to  the  es- 
sence or  spirit  of  them,  will  receive  new 
thoughts  every  day,  revelations  and  inspira- 
tions of  untold  value,  making  a  life  of  infinite 
satisfaction. 

19  Every  tiny  cell  of  your  body  thinks 
and  can  say,  ^^I  am."  Every  one  must  eventu- 
ally say,  ^^I  am  Jesus  Christ"  in  order  to  show 
forth  the  body  of  immortality. 

20  Who  loses  his  individuality  in  Jesus 
Christ  will  truly  find  it,  and  he  who  tries  to 
maintain  a  separate  individuality  will  fail. 

21  Paul  became  great  in  the  measure  that 
he  put  on  Jesus  Christ. 

22  To  hide  your  life  in  Jesus  Christ  so 
that  none  can  see  you  for  the  light  of  your 
Soul,  is  to  find  your  name  written  in  heaven ; 
and  you  yourself  chosen  by  God  to  live,  here 
and  now,  the  immortal  life,  and  be  among 
those  to  usher  in  The  New  Age,
